Ever wondered where British TV news channels find all these young guests with near identical hard-right libertarian views?

Well it turns out a lot of them are being pushed out by specialist 'talent agencies' backed by pro-Trump billionaires

Highly recommend reading this piece on the increasingly widespread use of PAs to replace doctors in the NHS. It’s an issue that horrifies many of us.
The debate around the use of physician associates in the NHS is certain to be debated on this app as it was over in the other place

Last month I published this long read after speaking to Merseyside medics about their concerns

94% of A&E doctors believe patients are coming to harm because of conditions inside NHS emergency depts.

We know overcrowding leads to at least 300 excess deaths a *week*. The government’s response? Tumbleweed and silence.

Characteristically evidence-based piece from @profdevisridhar.bsky.social on the most egregious of RFK Jr's views.

A dangerous anti-vaxxer conspiracy theorist who promotes raw milk (E.coli or salmonella, anyone?) & has claimed "autism comes from vaccines" 😳

"Vaccination has probably saved more lives & is better researched than most, if not all, aspects of healthcare. RFK Jr could set this back & be responsible for the death & disability of myriads of people, particularly children.”

I’m not going to leave X just yet - I hate that sense of being driven away from a place I used to love. But after one day on here, I already know how much prefer it.

So if you see this and would be kind enough to share it to let people find me, that would be hugely appreciated. Thank you.

Newspaper - Acid reflux drug taken by millions could trigger fatal disease. Sorry quote can’t be pasted.
However as a gerontologist I have been mentioning my concern for at least 10 years about this drug which is automatically prescribed to many older adults & left on it for years.

Hello everyone. We have moved from X. We want to challenge the present status quo of putting older adults into institutional care when their needs become more complex & create something better. Please see our short survey on our website and our call to action.
